"I think we should increase our company's publicity! As we all know, the KING Group has just entered the food industry. The company is still new in this business, so we should let more people know about it to get more customers!"
"Really? That's just your opinion! Your suggestion is useless. Why do you think Mr. Xu summoned us? Have we solved the problem regarding the sodium poisoning already? If not, then what's the use of increasing publicity? Publicity is the easy part. However, that's the last thing we need especially in this current situation."
The tension in the meeting room could be cut by a sharp knife. Everyone had substantial suggestions and was opinionated. They weren't afraid to share their thoughts.
At this time, a man sitting in the corner also started to voice out his opinion. "I think we should label each product carefully and slightly raise its price. Then, we can improve the packaging and quantity of our products—"
Before the man could finish his sentence, a sharp voice interrupted him. "Are you joking right now? Do you even know how much it costs to stick an identification label on each product? And you even suggested that we raise the price? How can you be sure that the consumers will still buy our products if we raise the price?"
a woman in a red dress stated distastefully.
Darren raised his eyebrows as he observed the woman. If he remembered correctly, she used to be the vice manager of a big company. It would explain why she behaved so arrogantly.
Some people couldn't stand her domineering attitude. Soon, someone stood up and retorted, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear that the packaging and quantity of the products would be improved as well? So raising the prices when we improve the products is reasonable, right? For example, the products with better quality and higher quantity would understandably be more expensive. It's a good idea if you think about it."
"Yes, I agree. I think it's a great idea."
"Yes, I think so too…"
Everyone finally agreed that the young man's suggestion was fantastic. Their most important problem to solve was to remove their consumers' doubts about their company because of the sodium poisoning incident.
The woman in the red dress was clearly furious, but she had no choice but to sit back down.
The heated conversations went on until Harlan finally showed up to control the situation.
Everyone in the company was well aware that Harlan was Darren's trusted right-hand man. His words easily calmed down the people inside the room.
After Harl
ries were anxious about the current situation of their company. The incident regarding the excess sodium had affected the KING Group's reputation negatively and many of their products couldn't be sold. If it went on like this, the KING Group would undoubtedly go bankrupt sooner rather than later.
After the meeting with the board of directors, Darren sat in his chair and stared at his ceiling. He was exhausted. When his secretary came in and saw him slumped on the chair, she quickly poured him a glass of water.
"Change the packaging of the food," Darren suddenly said. His eyes were closed now.
"What?" the secretary asked in confusion. She didn't think that a problem so serious could be solved by changing the packaging.
"Select some stores and set up a few stations to measure the sodium content. Do ensure that the quality of the food doesn't decrease. And also, lower the price by ten percent."
Darren had thought about this plan over and over before he said it out loud. It was indeed costly to set up stations that could measure the sodium content of food. Plus, the discount would diminish their future profits. But he was under a lot of pressure, especially from Bill and the board of directors. If it weren't for the fact that he was cornered into a wall, he wouldn't have made this decision.
After hearing the details of his plan, the secretary finally understood what Darren was talking about. She nodded obediently and went out to complete the tasks he gave.
Standing in the office, Darren took a long drag on his cigarette. He knew that there would be extreme consequences to his actions, but if it would benefit the company, then he was prepared to deal with them.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
